00:00If you needed any evidence that climate change is here and having a huge impact on us, you had it
00:06this week,
00:06with wildfires from Canada dramatically affecting the air quality of a good part of the U.S.
00:12Unfortunately, it's likely this won't be the last time we'll face events like this,
00:17and so it's time to familiarize ourselves with the kind of air conditioner filter that can actually keep smoke from
00:23entering our homes.
00:25The HuffPost spoke to an expert who recommended looking for HVAC filters with a minimum efficiency reporting value rating of
00:3213 or above,
00:34which you'll see listed as MRF 13 in product descriptions, and it's easily available on Amazon.
00:40In addition, make sure the filter carries the certified asthma and allergy-friendly mark, as they meet specific standards for
00:47allergen reduction.
00:48In case you can't find MRF 13 rating or above, opt for a lower level, but make sure to change
00:55the filter every few weeks until air quality improves.
